Abstract

Present study was conducted to know the influence of family climate on social competence of an adolescent is of great importance. Family climate affects the social competence during a more crucial period in life, i.e. adolescence. Adolescence is often considered as a period of "storm and stress". Any negligence of the individual at this stage leads to serious problems in later life which is bad not only for the individual but also for all those who come in contact with him and for the society in which they live.Study was carried out on 100 adolescents (50 boys and 50 girls) from Agra city. The results show gender differences in perception of the family climate and social competence which proves that in Indian culture specially that of small cities.the parents still give differential treatment to their sons and daughters and the society has certain gender biases still prevailing.

Abstract

In our country the art of embroidery is an ancient's art and has been existing as an inheritance from one generation to the next generation. Although it has reached great heights many times but there have also been signs of its decay. Even than its importance has never been minimized to any extent. Indian embroideries are not the products of individual craft men. The first and foremost task of any research is to throw light on unknown or little known facts and figures so as to discover, explain and record accurately related past events and the status of the past phenomena. My research aims at doing the same and showing the facts related to embroideries. Research will also describe the new prospects and modifications in Kathiawar stitches. The present study is a sincere attempt of the researcher to create a product (only cushion cover) using Kathiawar embroidery and assessing its consumer acceptability according to the market trend. The traditional motifs embroidery was collected from various sources such as books, museums and artisans of Kathiawar. Twenty two motifs of Khatiawar embroidery were evaluated by judges at 2 level. The result revealed that that modern and traditional design, first preferences given by judge and students given to modern modification and when the modified sample were shown to women they also like it.

Abstract

Background: Parasitic infections are the major public concern particularly in developing countries like India. Routinely used microscopy method for the detection of parasitic infections have compromised sensitivity. Materials and Method: The study was carried out on 500 stool samples received in Department of Microbiology MMIMSR, Mullana (Haryana) for a period of 6 months (August 2017 to January 2018). Stool samples for detection of ova and cyst were included. Result: Of these 500 samples examined, 235 (47%) stool samples showed positive results for ova/cyst after the use of simple salt floatation technique while it was merely 33% (n-165) without using the salt floatation method. of the 235 positive samples 29.8% were cyst of Giardia lamblia followed by eggs of Ascarislumbricoides (Fertilized and unfertilized) and cyst of Entamoebahistolytica each of 19.1%, Ancylostomaduodenale 14.9%, Hymenolepis nana 10.6%, Entamoeba coli 4.2% and Trichuristrichiura 2.1% were also identified. Conclusion: There is a need for more tests that do not sacrifice sensitivity and that can be used in poor resource field settings.
